a workaround is to change the default font to another font ( like "liberation mono" ),

in my system the default font for kate is "monospace", with "monospace" I can't see the underscore when I type an underscore, I need to insert a line break in order to see it

in my system "monospace" is linked to "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Roman", which belongs to ttf-bitstream-vera package

the bug occurs also with "dejavu mono" font

I made a test,

the first test :

- I use the "hack" font, the bottom of the character is not visible

the second test :

- I still use the "hack font" but I have inserted a line break : the bottom of the character is now visible,

I use the "oxygen" theme for plasma 5, maybe this theme has a bug ?

one important thing : the bug occurs when the font size is lesser than "12",

for example with size 9 : the bottom of the character is not rendered
